Granted: 1990-08-22
Abstract: In estimating a vehicle speed (Vv) from a wheel speed (Vwf, Vwr) and comparing the wheel speed with a reference threshold provided on the basis of that vehicle speed to control the supplying of a hydraulic braking pressure to wheel brakes, when the wheel speed is larger than the estimated vehicle speed, a predetermined value is added to that estimated vehicle speed to amend the latter, and conversely, when the wheel speed is smaller than the estimated vehicle speed, a predetermined value is subtracted from that estimated vehicle speed to amend the latter. Thus, the amended values are used as an estimated vehicle speed for controlling the hydraulic braking pressure.

IPC: E02D17/20
Filed: 1989-04-05
Granted: 1993-06-16
Abstract: The invention relates to a prefabricated concrete component system for forming ground-bearing stairways, platforms, terraces and analogous structures of one or more layers. It is the object of the invention to be able to construct, from a few basic components, a durable and safe ground-bearing structure of the desired shape. Such a component system comprises at least three different basic components (1, 2, and 3), which are used together or separately and which are slab components provided with upright supports. The basic components of the component system according to the invention are so designed that one or two adjacent slab components in the same constructional layer form at least two support and fastening surfaces for the next higher slab component. Thus a sturdy and safe structure is obtained. The shape of the components enables them to be cast in a single-part casting mold, from which the component will detach owing to beveled surfaces. The system also includes ramp components, edge components provided with edges, and corner components.

Abstract: A device consisting of a deformable support equipped with at least four independent wheels (5, 55 and 45, 65) and comprising a horizontal transom (3) and two sole bars (4, 44) which pivot and can be inclined relative to the transom (3). 
<??>The two sole bars (4, 44), each provided with at least two wheels (5, 55 and 45, 65), are mounted on articulated elements (7, 47) fixed to the transom (3) on either side of the longitudinal axial vertical plane of the vehicle, such that the articulation pivots (for example 18, 38, 52, 91) of the sole bars (4, 44) have variable relative positions. This results in a compensation of the reduction in distance between sole bars (4, 44) which occurs when they pivot, and hence a constant good match between the spacing of the wheels (5, 45, 55, 65) and the width of the track.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to recombinant genes and their encoded proteins which are recombinant flagellin fusion proteins. Such fusion proteins comprise amino acid sequences specifying an epitope encoded by a flagellin structural gene and an epitope of a heterologous organism which is immunogenic upon introduction of the fusion protein into a vertebrate host. The recombinant genes and proteins of the present invention can be used in vaccine formulations, to provide protection against infection by the heterologous organism, or to provide protection against conditions or disorders caused by an antigen of the organism. In a specific embodiment, attenuated invasive bacteria expressing the recombinant flagellin genes of the invention can be used in live vaccine formulations. The invention is illustrated by way of examples in which epitopes of malaria circumsporozoite antigens, the B subunit of Cholera toxin, surface and presurface antigens of Hepatitis B, VP7 polypeptide of rotavirus, envelope glycoprotein of HIV, and M protein of Streptococcus, are expressed in recombinant flagellin fusion proteins which assemble into functional flagella, and which provoke an immune response directed against the heterologous epitope, in a vertebrate host.

On one side of the retraction shaft (12), two catches (30, 32) are mounted eccentrically and with their centre of gravity mounted in such a way that their contact faces lie opposite the internal toothing (40) of the ring (38). The catches (30, 32) are moved by mass inertial forces counter to the force of a restoring spring (31) into coupling engagement with the internal toothing (40) of the ring (38). The longitudinal component of the arcuate movement of the actuation extension (42) is directly transmitted via a pin (44) and an elongate hole (50) to the clamping element (52).
